Brother's Best Friend (Chapter-11)

I followed him down the stairs, sitting on the bottom step as he put his trainers back on.

"This is shit," I mumbled out.

"Yep, I'm sorry Kat. I take no pleasure in leaving two seconds after that." He pointed upstairs and I let my shoulders drop.

"I know," I whispered, nodding. He grabbed my hand, pulling me up and putting his hands on my face. We were by the door and I closed my eyes as his lips came to mine, the tip of his tongue going into my mouth. I grabbed him with both hands by his t-shirt, letting his mouth take me. He pushed himself closer to me, his hard chest against mine.

"Oh!" We pulled apart quickly, our hands dropping as I looked at my mum, half way through the door.

"Mum," I rushed out. She had a cheeky expression on her face and I wanted the ground to swallow me completely whole.

"Kirsty, shit sorry." Luke said, rubbing his hand over his face. "You weren't meant to see that," he said quietly.

"Yeah, I got that," mum chuckled. "Kitchen," she said firmly, walking past us. I groaned, following her into the kitchen. I was chewing my bottom lip off, anxiety in my chest as I watched her perch against the kitchen side. My mum was cool as fuck, but I wasn't sure how this was going to go.

"When did this happen?" She laughed. Me and Luke looked at each other, both of us lost for words. He looked as panicked as I felt. "No one is going to talk?" She had a smile on her face and I dropped my shoulders in relief.

"Erm, couple of weeks ago," my voice was small. I was beyond embarrassed, feeling like a dick.

"Does Kane know?" Mum asked, putting her handbag on the side.

"No, please don't tell him mum." I moved closer to her.

"I won't, of course I won't. Where is he anyway?" She crossed her arms and my legs felt like jelly.

"In bed, with Alice." I looked over at Luke as I spoke.

"Glad my kids are getting more than me," she rolled her eyes and I chuckled lightly. "Right, Luke. What's the plan?" She turned to him.

"I don't have one," he said softly.

"You just fucking my daughter or?" Mum asked and I wanted the ground to swallow me again.

"What? No? Never in a million years," he said quickly, making me grin. "I want to be with Kat but I'm fucking terrified of what Kane is going to say." He was looking at mum and she glanced over at me, a smile on her face.

"You were on your way home?" She asked, running her hands through her hair.

"Yeah, I was going to sleep on the sofa but I might as well just go home." Luke shrugged and I heard the sadness in his voice.

"Okay," mum breathed out, her hands up. "Both of you go upstairs. If Kane wakes up before either of you I will tell him you've gone home. Your car isn't here?" Her eyebrow raised.

"No, it isn't. It's fine Kirsty, I can go home." He looked at me then and I really wanted to grab him with both hands.

"I don't want you to. And neither does she." Mum pointed at me and I rolled my eyes at her. "Upstairs before Mr lover man comes down." She slapped Luke's arm, walking into the hallway.

"Mum, thanks." My voice was confused, this wasn't the reaction I was expecting.

"No worries, I have actually seen a change in you recently. I thought you got them batteries recharged but apparently you have something that doesn't need batteries," she cackled and I put my face in my hands, groaning. She was so fucking embarrassing. "Go," she said firmly and I walked up the stairs, grabbing Luke's hand. He closed my bedroom door and I turned to him.

"Fuck," he whispered, looking down. "She won't say anything will she?" He asked me.

"No, she won't." I took my dress off, getting a t-shirt out of my drawers and throwing it on.

I got into bed as he stripped to his boxers, sliding in next to me. He grabbed my face and suddenly started laughing.

"What?" I asked, chuckling.

"I proper shit myself then." He was still laughing lightly.

"Me too, I felt like I was going to have a heart attack." I put my hand on my forehead.

"I will tell him soon, I promise." He scanned my face as he spoke and I felt a lump in my throat.

"When's soon?" I asked, already getting impatient.

"It's complicated Kat, I've only just got him to stop hating you." I sat up at his words, pissed off.

"You're a fully grown man, I didn't realise Kane was your keeper." I rolled my eyes.

"He isn't. I don't want him to be pissed off." His eyes were heavy and I groaned.

"Fuck Kane," I said firmly. "Who cares if he's pissed."

"I care. He is my best friend, I'm not a fan of ruining our friendship. Shocker I know." He laid down, running his hand over his face. "We're not doing this. The first time we get to spend the whole night together isn't going to be us arguing about Kane." His voice was serious, turning to me. I nodded, he was right again. I slid down the bed, my hand on his chest.

"You're right. I'm sorry," I whispered, kissing his peck. Luke put his arm behind me, pushing me closer to him.
